SqueezeBERT¶

Overview¶

The SqueezeBERT model was proposed in SqueezeBERT: What can computer vision teach NLP about efficient neural networks? by Forrest N. Iandola, Albert E. Shaw, Ravi Krishna, Kurt W. Keutzer. It’s a bidirectional transformer similar to the BERT model. The key difference between the BERT architecture and the SqueezeBERT architecture is that SqueezeBERT uses grouped convolutions instead of fully-connected layers for the Q, K, V and FFN layers.

The abstract from the paper is the following:

Humans read and write hundreds of billions of messages every day. Further, due to the availability of large datasets, large computing systems, and better neural network models, natural language processing (NLP) technology has made significant strides in understanding, proofreading, and organizing these messages. Thus, there is a significant opportunity to deploy NLP in myriad applications to help web users, social networks, and businesses. In particular, we consider smartphones and other mobile devices as crucial platforms for deploying NLP models at scale. However, today’s highly-accurate NLP neural network models such as BERT and RoBERTa are extremely computationally expensive, with BERT-base taking 1.7 seconds to classify a text snippet on a Pixel 3 smartphone. In this work, we observe that methods such as grouped convolutions have yielded significant speedups for computer vision networks, but many of these techniques have not been adopted by NLP neural network designers. We demonstrate how to replace several operations in self-attention layers with grouped convolutions, and we use this technique in a novel network architecture called SqueezeBERT, which runs 4.3x faster than BERT-base on the Pixel 3 while achieving competitive accuracy on the GLUE test set. The SqueezeBERT code will be released.

Tips:

SqueezeBERT is a model with absolute position embeddings so it’s usually advised to pad the inputs on the right rather than the left.
SqueezeBERT is similar to BERT and therefore relies on the masked language modeling (MLM) objective. It is therefore efficient at predicting masked tokens and at NLU in general, but is not optimal for text generation. Models trained with a causal language modeling (CLM) objective are better in that regard.
For best results when finetuning on sequence classification tasks, it is recommended to start with the squeezebert/squeezebert-mnli-headless checkpoint.

This model inherits from PreTrainedModel. Check the superclass documentation for the generic methods the library implements for all its model (such as downloading or saving, resizing the input embeddings, pruning heads etc.)

This model is also a PyTorch torch.nn.Module subclass. Use it as a regular PyTorch Module and refer to the PyTorch documentation for all matter related to general usage and behavior.

For best results finetuning SqueezeBERT on text classification tasks, it is recommended to use the squeezebert/squeezebert-mnli-headless checkpoint as a starting point.

Input data is in [batch, sequence_length, hidden_size] format.

Data inside the encoder is in [batch, hidden_size, sequence_length] format. But, if :obj:`output_hidden_states
== True`, the data from inside the encoder is returned in [batch, sequence_length, hidden_size] format.

The final output of the encoder is in [batch, sequence_length, hidden_size] format.

The SqueezeBertForMultipleChoice forward method, overrides the __call__() special method.

Note

Although the recipe for forward pass needs to be defined within this function, one should call the Module instance afterwards instead of this since the former takes care of running the pre and post processing steps while the latter silently ignores them.

Parameters

input_ids (torch.LongTensor of shape ((batch_size, num_choices, sequence_length))) –
Indices of input sequence tokens in the vocabulary.

Indices can be obtained using SqueezeBertTokenizer. See transformers.PreTrainedTokenizer.encode() and transformers.PreTrainedTokenizer.__call__() for details.

What are input IDs?
attention_mask (torch.FloatTensor of shape ((batch_size, num_choices, sequence_length)), optional) –
Mask to avoid performing attention on padding token indices. Mask values selected in [0, 1]:
- 1 for tokens that are not masked,
- 0 for tokens that are masked.
What are attention masks?
token_type_ids (torch.LongTensor of shape ((batch_size, num_choices, sequence_length)), optional) –
Segment token indices to indicate first and second portions of the inputs. Indices are selected in [0, 1]:
- 0 corresponds to a sentence A token,
- 1 corresponds to a sentence B token.
What are token type IDs?

SqueezeBertForTokenClassification¶

class transformers.SqueezeBertForTokenClassification(config)[source]¶

SqueezeBERT Model with a token classification head on top (a linear layer on top of the hidden-states output) e.g. for Named-Entity-Recognition (NER) tasks.

The SqueezeBERT model was proposed in SqueezeBERT: What can computer vision teach NLP about efficient neural networks? by Forrest N. Iandola, Albert E. Shaw, Ravi Krishna, and Kurt W. Keutzer

This model inherits from PreTrainedModel. Check the superclass documentation for the generic methods the library implements for all its model (such as downloading or saving, resizing the input embeddings, pruning heads etc.)

This model is also a PyTorch torch.nn.Module subclass. Use it as a regular PyTorch Module and refer to the PyTorch documentation for all matter related to general usage and behavior.

For best results finetuning SqueezeBERT on text classification tasks, it is recommended to use the squeezebert/squeezebert-mnli-headless checkpoint as a starting point.

Parameters: config (SqueezeBertConfig) – Model configuration class with all the parameters of the model. Initializing with a config file does not load the weights associated with the model, only the configuration. Check out the from_pretrained() method to load the model weights.
